The green tint was the pollen, FC held up well and 0 CC. Robot and the skimmer choked 2x per day at the peak. Finally done for the most part. Cheer up! Pecan is ready to start next! LOL

D'oh! I have a cover but have not used it. It is a 24' round pool though, a bit difficult to put on and off I would think. New search term to find appropriate threads!

TA is down to 75ppm, PH at 7.2. Woo Hoo! Now to see if it holds in this high heat. I had to add 2" of my high TA fill water yesterday.

I use PoolMath every time! Need to load it and my spreadsheet on the phone though, that is always on.

Lowered PH to 7.0 morning and evening, good aeration running 24 hours a day (hope the neighbors don't mind). Tonight's numbers: FC 3.0 (added 64oz of 8.25 just to make sure it doesn't drop too much, 103 degrees here today) PH 7.6 (added 40oz MA just like this morning) TA 125ppm! Woo hoo...

I am thinking about a shade sail, it would be more aesthetic. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Dropped the PH to 7.0 last night and ran the fountain all night. TA dropped to 175 this morning, PH rose to 7.6. Added MA to drop PH to 7.0 again this morning and will keep the fountain going.

Off to Lowes for MA. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Is there a formula to estimate the amount of acid and aeration time to lower TA? I can do it experimentally, but don't want to be a slave to testing if it is not necessary.

Measured from the hose. PH 7.2 TA 225 ppm CH 225 ppm We are on top of the high quality limestone in North America, the plant is just two miles away. :-)

I don't know if this helps, but my Intex Ozone SWG gave a low salt warning and I added salt. What was really happening was the scale had built up on the generator plates and the unit threw a low salt code. I cleaned the plates (vinegar soak) and then the unit threw a high salt warning. I...

I feel I am getting close to a stable chemistry (Taylor K-2006 & K-1766). I am chasing a rising PH but only need to add every few days now. I may back off on pump and swg run time some to see if i can still keep FC in range without driving up PH. The TA is up there and I have done at least...

I am planning on the drain fill this weekend. Just need to get there safely first. Work first unfortunately. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Used a 50/50 test and CYA 140, FC 6.5 this morning. Off to pick up bleach and then install the SWG tonight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Daniel, that is the info I needed. I had not thought of simulating a dilution scenario. Perfect. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

Defgufman: The size is 13,500 gallons and I used the TF100 test kit. pooldv: no pucks but I am using liquid shock from Leslies, it does not list CYA but there are 90% 'other ingredients'. I guess I need to pick up chlorine tonight. IF I am TRULY at 120ppm CYA, then do I need to run FC...

No, I am using the T100 test kit. I also bought the salt test kit. Any tips on how long to wait before starting a replacement routine? I understand I will not get to stability on the salt system that arrives today until I get the CYA down. So besides adding chlorine daily, do I need to...

I added 6 pounds of this Clorox stabilizer from Lowes. I was at 0 and the directions say 4 pounds for 30ppm, so I went more instead of easing into it.

I have a 24' x 52" Intex Ultraframe (yes, I know this needs to go in the sig....) Finally got the pool up and filled. Tested Daily and started adjusting towards balance. CYA was zero and added Conditioner, now CYA is approximately 120! The PoolMath calculator says to lower CYA, I need to pull...
